This was such a damn mess.
He would have blamed someone else for his current misfortunes and likely still would once this was all over, but at present Alabaster was cursing himself inside and out, trying to figure out how he had gotten into this situation in the first place. He was pretty sure he was damn good at what he did, otherwise he wouldn't have been offered the recruitment in the first place, but now he actually had to prove himself, and that was, so far, not going well.
"You think awfully high of yourself," Alabaster said airily, as though he fell into men all the time while fighting small, black creatures that kept trying to attack his ankles, even when he was on the same damn side as them. "You know, you're starting to annoy me."
Among other things. Alabaster reached out a hand, curled fingers in the front of Sinoite's uniform and gripped tightly, eyes flickering to the other's face. For a moment, they stood there, and he felt something in him unwind, just a little, a peculiar feeling.
Then he shoved the man back and took several leaping steps backwards, brushing his suit carelessly, an off-kilter sensation making him unwilling to look over at Sinoite for a few seconds. At least until he got his thoughts in order, which happened a moment later, Alabaster's traditional, blinding white smirk spreading across his face.
"Who's at the bottom of the barrel now?"
A youma bit his ankle. Alabaster yelped.

Alabaster was pretty damn good about getting himself in trouble. Sinoite was trying to move away even though the youma had made its home at Alabaster's ankles and nipping them and it was great.
"First step to attraction is annoyance." Sinoite didn't shove at the man, because they locked eyes and his breath caught in the moment. He didn't see the undwinding of Alabaster, just the steel like of his eyes and the slick of his hair. His hand wanted to move, but didn't bother pushing away as the suit did it for him.
He stumbled back a few steps, bells ringing as he moved and getting the youma's in line.
"Looks like you still!" Sinoite smirked back, "You can keep that one. I'm gonna take these ones back." Was he leaving Alabaster with the wild little youma? yes he was. "Have fun A-la-bas-ta.........rd" And the artist started to leave, pied piper to the little beings with him.

His mouth dropped open.
"What - are you insane - " Alabaster yelped, outrage flaring almost instantly - but before he could do more than gape like a stupid fish, Sinoite's bells were jangling and the other lieutenant was skipping backwards, looking as though he'd rather be anywhere but there.
He was smirking. The damned brat was smirking.
"YOU a*****e!" Alabaster yelled, but then it was just him, and his thoughts left alone.
And a youma that wouldn't let go of his leg.
